Aaron F. Belen is looking to become a player in metro Detroit’s food and entertainment scene, and his plans for the now-closed Sangria in downtown Royal Oak could do just that.

The 30-year-old was a managing partner in Fifth Avenue in Royal Oak but sold his interest in December 2012. Belen was also a passive investor in Barrio and The Hamilton Room in Birmingham, but this is his first solo project.
